Interview

Probably one of the best, and fastest moving interviews I've done. Everyone I met with was tack sharp, and the question were relevant and fun. These included questions about my research background as well as a few whiteboard coding problems (can't escape those!). They responded about the hiring decision that evening, which I thought was quite incredible.

Application

I interviewed at Apple (Cupertino, CA) in June 2013.

Interview

I re-contacted an Apple recruiter who contacted me in the past because I was looking for new opportunities. After sorting out the location, I got two phone interviews. I got quite basic C++ and algorithm questions. After those two interviews, I was invited for a round of interviews at the Cupertino office. I had 4-5 interviews back to back with no breaks. I really appreciated having to meet 2-3 engineers during each interview. It is actually a good ice breaker. The questions I got were difficult but quite manageable if you came prepared.

Reasons for Declining

The offer was quite good. That was the best offer I had regarding the numbers but I decided to go somewhere else because it was more interesting with regard to my career.
